Abnormal Fixation: Two new Quarter Finalists at Oniros Film Awards!

I am thrilled today to announce that the prestigious Oniros Film Awards in New York has named our upcoming web series Abnormal Fixation (to air the October!) a quarter finalist in two additional categories beyond best web series, the award we are also up for.

Alicia W. Martin, my co-author on The Subway Game (2024) and the lead of Abnormal Fixation, is a quarter finalist for Best Actress. Alicia is amazing -- simultaneously real AND funny -- in the role of Season Winters, and I can't wait for you to see her in the show. Alicia brings charisma, passion and energy to the role of a long-suffering spouse and forensic biologist with some...quirky tastes. Congratulations, Alicia!

Oniros Film Awards also honored us with a quarter finalist designation for sound design, and that's all Tony Mercer. Tony its an incredible talent, and world builder, the sound engineer, mixer, editor responsible for the wondrous multiverse of Enter The House Between (2023). His accomplished sound design for Abnormal Fixation lifts all boats, and showcases our story and cast to the nth degree. Congrats, Tony!

We'll find out next week if we move up to semi-finalist designation in the categories of best web series, best actress, and best sound design, and I'll keep you all up to date on the results!
